Hey everybody,
Well, I am feeling alright, however, I am not quite there yet. I went back to the doc today and found that there is something really wrong with me. He gave me three options as to what my problem is. Upper respiratory pneumonia, Tuberculosis (sp), or a fungal growth in my lungs. This could take up to six months depending on the nature of the problem. I should be able to play but with some fatigue involved. I have a head full of medicine and lungs full of goo. This is going to be a short blog due to me being at work and not knowing what the hell to say now. Except, there goes the new drum kit, all the money spent on health care. I’ll try to keep everyone up on what is happening, until then I am hoping to make it to Sylvan Grove.
Until then be sure and check out this website, it is very funny in a really weird/sick kind of way. http://community-of-christ.mathew-mount.com/ Not sure who Mathew Mount is or why he designed this website but the text that he captioned under some of the pictures is hilarious.
Adios,

Hey everybody! Well, after about 2 1/2 weeks I am finally back on my feet and back to work. I had a bout with a bacterial infection in my lungs and sinuses. Very bad stuff. Two doctor visits later and too damn much money I am feeling just about par for course. I’ll definitely be ready for the show on the 23rd so………I hope that I’ll see everyone out there in wonderful Sylvan Grove, KS for the Lincoln County Fair!!!

Well, I’ve decided. I am in the process of saving money to purchase a new kit. DW drums make the most fabulous drums on the planet. Looking to purchase a 6 – 8 piece kit. So now the money saving begins. I am looking at spending around $5,000. I’ll be taking donations throughout the rest of my life to save up for this kit, ha ha ha. Just kidding. If you want check out the website and see what I want to buy.

Hey, just wanted to apologize for anyone who went to the show last night at Harbour Lights. I’m sure Aaron had an awesome show but I had to miss due to a wonderful case of pneumonia that I’ve contracted over our tour this weekend. I have felt like I was going to croke for the past three days. We had such a great weekend though, I think my body just kept moving due to the adrenaline. I’m beginning to feel somewhat better but still have a horrible cough. Hopefully I’ll be over this for the next show. Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows this weekend and Thanks to Ashely Cook who put me up for the night in Hays. Also, I know I don’t just speak for myself when I say thanks to Tyler Hiltner. We really appreciate all of your hospitality and help this weekend. Look for another show at Dave’s in Kiowa, KS soon because I believe we had a great turn out, even during all of the weather. I also believe that we’ll be headed back to Ira’s in Alva, OK pretty soon. Should be loads of fun. Thanks BP for giving Aaron and I such a chuckle throughout our show! Well, I guess that I will see all of you at the next show, which is coming up pretty soon. Guess I’ll have to get rid of this pneumonia fast as hell.
